Cranked 
My treadmill
Up to max for

Counting minutes that..
Slip a away from my hands.
....
My fingers baffled; 
How can I count your absence? !

Cooked for 5 minutes too long,

Into the earth 
is our final fate,

Groaning to find the settings
To high, four minutes, and on
Pressure cooker despairing -
